Hi. Been away cooking at a monastery for a week, feel out of touch. Exhausted too, didn't sleep much in the spongey, rolly single bed they provided.
But it was a good week, nevertheless. Challenging. People often show up unanounced with cooked food and want me to add it to the menu at last minute. I only lost my cool once.

Hubby was manning the fort here, with our two cats, and running back and forth with supplies when I needed him. Hence our larder at home got sadly neglected.

No bread for lunch....which brings me to our topic here. I just decided to make two Irish Soda breads, in regular loaf pans. In oven now...hope it turns out, used a combination of 3 dift recipes: (no sugar, don't like sugar in sandwich bread).

I buy my baked goods in quantity at the Used Bread Store and freeze several items such as bread and hot dog and burger buns, so I never run out of bread. I may have to toast my sandwich if I neglect to take a loaf out of the freezer when I use up the last of what was in the refrigerator, but I never run out

When I buy loaf bread (usually whole wheat), I freeze the loaf because there is no way I'll eat the whole loaf before it changes color. When I want a sandwich, I toss two slices into the toaster and I'm good to go.

We have stopped eating bread, so we turn our sandwich fixings into a salad, or (in the case of things like cheeseburgers) we top it like we normally would and eat it with a fork. Peanut butter can be put in celery or apples can be dipped in it. Meats and cheeses definitely work well in a salad.

Before we stopped eating breads (we can eat some, we just have to limit it), if we ran out of bread or buns, we would make cheeseburger wraps, breaking the ground beef up when I browned it, and wrapping the meat, cheese, veggies, and condiments up in a flour tortilla. We also sometimes used tortillas for peanut butter sandwiches if we were out of bread.

What do you do when out of bread?SomaHi. Been away cooking at a monastery for a week, feel out of touch. Exhausted too, didn't sleep much in the spongey, rolly single bed they provided.
